Extra












The periodical that Sol LeWitt called "The only magazine not about art but as art" was not the first, and certainly not the only serial artists' publication, but produced five striking issues in a just over a year, fifty years ago. 

Edited by Walter Lippert, the magazine focused on more conceptual practices, EXTRA featured writings and artworks by artists from around the world. 

Hans Haacke wrote about the censorship of his Manet-PROJECT '74 (as he did in Avalanche Magazine that same year). The work was rejected by the museum just prior the opening and in response Daniel Buren pasted copies of Haacke’s panels onto his own black-and-white wallpaper to circumvent the museum’s attempt at censorship (the museum's response was to remove Buren’s wallpaper, also).

Buren contributed two pages of vertical stripes printed on vellum to EXTRA. Sol LeWitt provided Drawings, Duane Michals contributed Portrait of Andy Warhol and Hanne Darboven provided Manuscript for a Film

Other contributors included Art & Language, Terry Atkinson, Robert Barry, Lynda Benglis, Antonio Dias, Ralph Gibson, Joseph Kosuth, Roman Opalka, Giuseppe Penone, Anna & Patrick Poirier, Bernar Venet and Gilberto Zorio. 

The fourth and penultimate issue (from April 1975) was devoted to works by David Askevold, produced from 1968 to 1974. 

Hans-Peter Feldmann was a victim of censorship, not by the magazine but by their printer: 

"We are so late as our printer refused to print this issue because of Hans-Peter Feldmann's contribution. You can't believe it's possible? It is!" 

EXTRA was reportedly produced in an edition of 500 copies each. In 2016, a complete set sold at auction for $594 US, just below the low estimate of between six and nine hundred dollars.

  1. It's my month and a month of solutions to all my worries. He’s very real and legit and also affordable with a low price but he did come up with an excellent result , he gave me an excellent score of 820 which really made me have self-respect for him. I had about $94k in banks and $20k in credit card debt on about 3 different credit cards and all these late payments are marked as paid ever since I contacted XAPCREDITSOLUTION AT GMAIL DOT COM. all the loans cleared and charge offs and collections cleared. I urge you all to write them immediately to fix your credit. They can also help to file tax returns. XAP is simply the best.
